Quincy Douby

Toronto drafted the Raufel guy in 2005. He was a late 1st rounder and drafted him like 8th because they needed size opposite Bosh

Orlando drafted JJ Reddick in 05 because they needed a 3 point shooter. They missed someone named Danny Granger.

toronto drafted arajao in 2004 and jj redick was picked in 2006 but granger entered the 2005 draft.

You can’t really call Quincy doubt a bust… He was chosen 25 or 26th. We had just been in the pkayoffs and were looking for someone to fit the off the bench scoring mold Bobby Jackson had for so many years. He averaged 27 ppg at rutgers and in his workouts he shot lights out. He actually outshot peja stojakavic who had posted the best shooting workout in kings history (obviously an irrelevant stat) but he looked great and even in summer league he was solid. Only Jordan farmar and rajon rondo were better and available and rondo I don’t think anyone saw coming, and farmar was more of a traditional point guard and we were looking for a combo guy which douby was. Traditionally scoring guards are drafted later in drafts. Eddie house scored a ton of points at florida state and was taken late first round, jameer Nelson was also taken in the 20s. So choosing him was a hit or miss kind of thing and it was obviously miss but it wasn’t a huge stunt to our growth. Also there weren’t any better shooters left at that point either so we didn’t hurt ourselves too bad. He was a dissapointmebt definitely but we didn’t draft him expecting him to be our savior.

From what the Kings announcers were saying all the way up until he was traded, every time they had a practice Douby shot lights out, but in the game he went cold like 80% of the time. They just could understand why a guy who does so well in all other settings just could not do anything well in a game.

house played at arizona state

Aroujo was drafted over Iguodala and Josh Smith

Has not been on a team with good post presence if I am correct. I think if he playes with a team with strong inside play he could show more. Playing with Cousins would have made him look better IMO. Maybe he will get one more shot. I expected him to be a lot better by now though.

If Douby shot the lights out in practice and couldn’t translate that talent to an actual game, he must have had some kind of psychological block. Maybe he should talk to Ron Artest’s psychologist.

Douby shoots like 30% from the 3pt line for his career. How is he a good 3pt shooter?

LeBron shot 29% from 3pt his rookie year and it was said he had no 3ball. And Quincy Douby shoots 30% for his career and he’s a “3-point-shooting guard”?

No.

He can score, and he was a big-time player at Rutgers. I remember watching him play and thinking he was the best player in the Big East, and this was when Rudy Gay, Josh Boone, Gerry McNamara and all those guys were in that League so he was really lighting it up. I think he suffered from a lack of confident and the fact that Sacremento kept trying to make him a PG, which he was too selfish for. He is better as a spark off the bench for scoring, but they had their eyes set on making him a PG. Also add in that he didn’t shoot well enough to validate PT, and he has never been a truly good defender (especially in half-court) and that’s why I believe he’s not in the NBA anymore despite his talent

Watching him around 4 years ago in his rookie season, I definitely left feeling optimistic about him. He definitely has amazing shooting skills, but his HUGE jump to shoot was so unorthodox. I remember going to a GS game where he had about 20 points. I am pretty sure I witnessed the high point of Quincy’s whole NBA career, but I do feel like he could be a spark plug off the bench similar to a Pooh Jeter, Ronnie Price role. 

@tongueoutlike23, saying someone is a not a good 3 point shooter because of statistics is weak. Note: you probably shouldn’t make such a statement when you have to look the person up on google to find out who the player is ;). Maybe if he was given a lot of playing gime and still didnt deliver you may have an arguement, but his minutes were far to sporatic with coach musselman/theus. Maybe you have never played basketball, but it definitely is harder to try and find your shot rhthym when your playing time is undecided and you dont know when the next opportunity will be.(my college ball was similar to quincy’s nba. my coach ford at umass felt i wasnt consistent enough to play.)

I’m still pissed to this day that the Rockets traded Rudy Gay for Battier on draft day. Signing Ariza last summer was the Rockets admitting they f*cked up. The T-mac/Yao regime would’ve been succesful IMO if they just kept Rudy. Instead they both ended up hurt because too much of the offensive load was put on them. All they needed was a reliable 3rd scorer who could even take over offensively if 1 was having a bad day. Now my boy T-Mac is gone and Houston is on the verge of having to go in a different direction because of it.
